Money and fluidity

This morning as I sat for meditation, my thoughts were all about money! I myself found it weird but after a while I let myself go along the flow. It was not about sustenance or profit but analogies of money and finance that kept coming to my mind.

I felt money was fluidity, like liquid. Only in this form it could lubricate the state machinery. Everytime it stagnated, there was a sort of lurch in the machine. Because everytime, instead of flowing if it was static, it began to solidify and hinder the smooth movement of the machine. That I felt was corruption or hoarding of black money. Then if there was a leak in the machine (not in the fluid container but in the machine itself) then that was someone siphoning off someone else's money. At times this leak was due to a sabotage which was then used as an excuse by politicians to get in the technician and prescribe repair which was not really necessary. That's corrupt bureaucracy.

The last thought: when there is a overhauling and the whole oil is changed and replaced - that's demonetization (of Modi).
